"TuBucK" would score the first knockout of the final table, but it was the second one that was the biggest hand of the tournament. "SenorAlto" was the second-biggest stack when he got his chips in with pocket aces against the ace-king of "TuBucK", but one king came on the flop, and a third on the turn, to give "TuBucK' an incredible bust out.
"TuBucK" would mostly sit on his stack until he busted "JonnyG" in fifth place, and he would go on to knock out every player remaining.
"yudibean" would start heads-up play at a big disadvantage, but he would score a few double ups in his comeback attempt. However, it would ultimately fall short, eventually busting to the Big Slick of "TuBucK."
